portraits and prayers

-A woman in the bookstore who bought a book of prayers and said, "Sometimes you just don't feel like praying, and so you pray someone else's prayers." She then explained that she lost her husband of 50+ years recently. She showed us a picture of him, and talked about who he was. The amount of affection in her voice was amazing.

-A professor providing some much-needed affirmation.

-Logan's portrait of me she drew while I was babysitting her yesterday.

“Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery that it is. In the boredom and the pain of it no less than in the excitement and the gladness: touch, taste, smell your way to the holy, hidden heart of it because in the last analysis all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace.“
